Forest Hill has served the Memphis area since 1888. There are now three locations. The first cemetery, on Elvis Presley Blvd, began with 160 acres, but 40 were acquired by the US Postal Service. It's a beautiful cemetery, with 100-year old oaks and maple trees and monuments dating back into the 1800's. The first Mausoleum was built in 1915. Over the years there have been many revisions and enhancements to the Chapel. The Mausoleum here achieved major fame when it served as temporary entombment to Elvis Presley in 1977, while permanent entombment was being prepared at Graceland.
